https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unlpnUzY6BA China’s Single Population Hits 300 Million! Something Worse Than Young People Not Marrying Happens Transcript : Mom, I don't want to get married anymore. They're asking for a 350,000 yen bride price, plus a house and a car.
0:099 secondsI can't even afford a house, and no girl wants to spend her life with me. Please stop forcing me into blind dates. Mom, I really can't take it anymore. A young
0:1818 secondsman exposes the huge pain points many ordinary families face when it comes to marriage and relationships. As the year end approaches, the pressure of
0:2626 secondsmarriages once again becomes two massive burdens, weighing heavily on the shoulders of young people.
0:3232 secondsWhat do you actually want to do? I introduce someone to you for a blind date, but you wouldn't go. What do you want?
0:4141 secondsDid you really introduce me to someone?
0:4343 secondsShe's my middle school classmate. Back in school, she liked hanging out with boys and had three or four boyfriends.
0:4949 secondsIf I got together with her, how would I keep her in check? What if she ends up cheating on me? Plus, she's been married twice and has a three-year-old kid. I'm
0:5757 secondssingle and never married. You want me to be with her? Do you think that's a good match?
1:041 minute, 4 secondsWhat do you mean by a good match? It's great that a girl is willing to marry you. Maybe a second marriage means she's more family oriented. Once you're married, just keep an eye on her.
1:141 minute, 14 secondsLook at what you're saying. Am I even your son anymore? You two talk to her yourself. All right. More family oriented? I'm not talking to her. You
1:221 minute, 22 secondstwo can talk to her. This is a harsh reality of forced marriage in rural areas where parents are increasingly anxious about their son's marriage. The
1:301 minute, 30 secondsstandards for a suitable partner are getting lower and lower to the point where even a second marriage with a child is seen as positive and a trait
1:381 minute, 38 secondsfor being family oriented. In many rural areas, finding a partner has become a luxury for young men. Take this family for example. Three sons, all unmarried.
1:481 minute, 48 secondsThe eldest is 45, the second is 38, and even the youngest, who is 30, has been unable to find a partner. Despite being
1:551 minute, 55 secondsset up for countless blind dates by matchmakers, none have worked out, and the elderly father is growing anxious.
2:022 minutes, 2 secondsIn Jangi, a blogger captured the video expressing concern that no one in a village has gotten married in the past 6 years. The men, born in the 1980s and
2:112 minutes, 11 seconds1990s, all have cars and houses, but none are married. 35-year-old Chu, a young man from Jang Xi's countryside,
2:182 minutes, 18 secondsfinds himself in a tough situation with his older brother also single during the new year. His parents urge him to get married.
2:272 minutes, 27 secondsThe situation back home is tough. Even divorced women won't look at me. Mom, let me tell you honestly, there's a high chance I won't ever get married. You two need to be mentally prepared for that.
2:402 minutes, 40 secondsWhat mental preparation? Be more ambitious, you two useless boys.
2:462 minutes, 46 secondsA man who's 35, hasn't achieved anything, and comes from a poor family, there's almost no chance for me anymore.
2:532 minutes, 53 secondsIf you don't get married, what are your dad and I supposed to do? Neither of you two is getting married, and your brother's not either.
What's there to do about it? There are plenty of single people. When you get old, it's not like I won't take care of you.
3:083 minutes, 8 secondsEither you get married or your brother needs to step up. The way you talk, it's like no one wants to marry. Doesn't my brother want to find someone? I don't
3:163 minutes, 16 secondswant to find someone. We just can't find anyone. No one wants to bother with us, right? The women don't like us. A salary
3:233 minutes, 23 secondsof 5,000 to 6,000 UN may seem enough to get by in rural areas, but in the marriage market of that time, this amount was barely enough to buy an entry
3:313 minutes, 31 secondsticket. The bride price starts at tens of thousands of yen, with the three essentials, gold, a house, and a car being non-negotiables. Even divorced
3:403 minutes, 40 secondswomen with children are picky, let alone ordinary young women. The son's remark, "Be prepared," sounds like a comfort to his parents. But in reality, it's his
3:483 minutes, 48 secondsway of concluding for himself, "This might be the way my life ends." Year after year, as his parents urge him to get married, they aren't pushing for a
3:563 minutes, 56 secondscelebration, but rather for the growing panic of having no hope for retirement and the fear of breaking the family line. What's even more heartbreaking is
4:044 minutes, 4 secondsthat this isn't just a tragedy unique to the Shu family or specific village, but rather an entire generation of rural men who have been systematically sacrificed
4:124 minutes, 12 secondsdue to the extreme imbalance of resources between urban and rural areas in modern China. Cities drain away education, employment, and
4:194 minutes, 19 secondsopportunities. While rural areas are left with aging populations, hollowedout communities, and bachelor villages.
4:264 minutes, 26 secondsHowever, when the camera shifts to the bustling metropolis, the scene is completely different. At Shanghai's People's Parks marriage market, it's
4:334 minutes, 33 secondspacked with people every day, just like a real market. But the main characters are mostly parents worried about their daughter's marriages and single girls
4:404 minutes, 40 secondswho come up to set up shop. This is an interview of a beautiful woman born in 1996 and her conditions are topnotch.
4:494 minutes, 49 secondsI live in Shanghai, born in 1996, and I am having a painting exhibition. Can you share details about your income?
4:584 minutes, 58 secondsIt's stable, around 100,000 yen. I have a car and a house. What kind of car do you drive? A MercedesBenz G-Class.
5:065 minutes, 6 secondsWith these conditions, do you still need to go on blind dates?
5:105 minutes, 10 secondsYes, I still do. There aren't many good men left.
5:135 minutes, 13 secondsDo you have high requirements for a partner?
5:155 minutes, 15 secondsI hope to find someone who shares similar hobbies and interests, someone I can talk to. What if he only makes 5,000 a month? Would you date him?
5:235 minutes, 23 secondsSure, as long as he's motivated, that's fine. But dating a man who earns only 5,000 a month could be stressful, don't you think?
5:315 minutes, 31 secondsIt's okay. I can support him. Compared to rich men, I would rather find someone reliable.
5:375 minutes, 37 secondsThis is the most surreal part of marriage and relationships in today's China. On one side, countless rural men burdened by economic pressures are left
5:455 minutes, 45 secondssighing in despair over their unattainable hopes of finding a wife. On the other side, a large number of outstanding urban women are still waiting for the right match due to their
5:535 minutes, 53 secondsselection criteria. They seem to be separated by an invisible wall, both trapped in this era's marriage and relationship siege. This structural
6:016 minutes, 1 secondimbalance has pushed China into an increasingly severe super single era.
According to the latest statistics, in 2025, China's single population surpassed the 300 million mark. What does 300 million mean? It's roughly
6:146 minutes, 14 secondsequivalent to the total population of the United States, which stands at about 348 million. In other words, a kingdom of singles roughly the size of the
6:236 minutes, 23 secondsUnited States is forming in China. Among these 300 million, over 250 million have chosen to live alone. Let's delve deeper
6:306 minutes, 30 secondsinto this massive demographic. The data reveals even deeper issues. The unmarried rate for those aed 25 to 29
6:376 minutes, 37 secondshas reached 51%. The unmarried rate for those aed 30 to 34 is 18%, the unmarried rate for those aed 35 to 39 is 8%. At
6:476 minutes, 47 secondsthe same time, the imbalance in gender ratios has further exacerbated the marriage crisis. Among the marriageable age group of 20 to 45, there are about
6:546 minutes, 54 seconds34 million more men than women. This situation has directly led to a sharp rise in single rate of men aed 25 to 49,
7:027 minutes, 2 secondswhich has surged to 28.4%, an increase of 11.2 percentage points compared to 10 years ago. Despite the surplus of men in
7:107 minutes, 10 secondsterms of numbers, the total number of single women in the more than 300 million singles still stands at an astonishing 150 million. These numbers
7:187 minutes, 18 secondsare not just cold figures on statistical reports. They represent real stories unfolding in every corner of Chinese society. In a society driven by
7:267 minutes, 26 secondstraditional views on marriage and relationships, as well as a pursuit of success, he has actively chosen a low material, high freedom lifestyle. He
7:347 minutes, 34 secondshasn't become a so-called success in the conventional sense, but in his own way, he has found inner order and peace. More and more young people are choosing to
7:427 minutes, 42 secondsopt out of traditional lifestyles, especially in cities where this group is predominantly made up of well-educated, independent single women. Shaolin is one such member of this growing cohort.
7:547 minutes, 54 secondsShe's labeled herself a moonlight idealist and takes pride in it. Choosing to live alone, she dedicates all her energy and financial resources to
8:018 minutes, 1 secondherself. Each month, she easily spends over 2,000 yen on cosmetics, skincare, and fashion. In response to others
8:098 minutes, 9 secondsmisunderstandings, she straightforwardly states, "I'm not dressing up for anyone.
8:148 minutes, 14 secondsI just want to see a happy version of myself in the mirror everyday." Her schedule is packed with various activities that make her happy. She
8:228 minutes, 22 secondssigns up for yoga and meditation classes to relax her mind and body. And every weekend, without fail, she gets a shoulder and neck massage. On a whim,
8:318 minutes, 31 secondsshe packs her bags and embarks on a spontaneous short trip. Some criticize her for being too extravagant and not planning for the future. But she smiles
8:398 minutes, 39 secondscalmly and says something that may resonate with many of her peers. I used to think I should save money for the future and for a family, but now I just
8:488 minutes, 48 secondswant to give the best to myself in the present. Of course, for many young people, choosing to stay single is a necessary response to the pressures of
8:568 minutes, 56 secondsreality. Late at night, the streets of Chandu illustrate the most absurd closed loop of this era. On one side, young
9:039 minutes, 3 secondswomen sit in cramped live streaming rooms, relying on their beauty and talents, waiting for generous tips from top supporters. On the other, young men
9:129 minutes, 12 secondstransform into delivery drivers, racing through the city to earn meager delivery fees. Some say that the live streaming girls order takeout when they're hungry,
and the delivery boys watch live streams when they're tired. They're basically each other's customers, but are both trapped in a cycle of poverty. Wealth
9:279 minutes, 27 secondsflows into platforms they can never reach, along with the enormous capital systems behind those platforms. A netizen pointed out that this is like a
9:359 minutes, 35 secondsbeggar's gang in the digital age, divided into the clean clothes faction relying on beauty tips and the dirty clothes faction earning small amounts
9:449 minutes, 44 secondsthrough physical labor. On January 22nd, in front of the Wanja Lee International Hotel in Chang Shaunan Province, a young
9:519 minutes, 51 secondsman knelt in front of the camera, pleading with entrepreneurs for a job with 8our shifts and 2 days off. He repeatedly bowed his head in desperation.
10:0210 minutes, 2 secondsEntrepreneurs, I beg you. Please give me a job with 8our shifts and two days off.
10:0710 minutes, 7 secondsPlease, I beg you, please. Netzens in the comment section urged, stand up and don't kneel.
10:1910 minutes, 19 secondsI make 20 men a night. Can you feed a family on that? Can you pay off debt? You can't even take care of yourself. It's humiliating.
10:2810 minutes, 28 secondsRecently, a designated driver riding alone late at night suddenly lost control of his emotions and shouted into the empty street. This shout is a
10:3610 minutes, 36 secondssilent, heart-wrenching echo of countless low-income laborers. They are doing everything they can just to survive. In a world where merely staying
10:4410 minutes, 44 secondsalive consumes all their energy, marriage is no longer a necessity, but rather a luxury. An overwhelming responsibility they can barely dare to
10:5210 minutes, 52 secondsimagine, let alone afford. The responsibilities of marriage, especially during economic downturns, can feel like a heavy, insurmountable chain. Once seen
11:0111 minutes, 1 secondas a warm haven, it's now causing the most pain. Recently, a video from Hunan has deeply touched the hearts of many
11:0811 minutes, 8 secondspeople. In the video, a man returns home after not making much money this year and is met with scorn and reproach from his wife. In front of the camera, he
11:1711 minutes, 17 secondsdoesn't argue, but silently and sorrowfully picks up his bag, preparing to leave again to seek a living in Shanghai. Life is so hard for
11:2411 minutes, 24 secondsworking-class men in China. This is not just an internal family conflict, but a tragedy born out of an economic decline of an era. As one nizen remarked, "When
11:3411 minutes, 34 secondsthe economy collapses, how can anything survive under the collapsed nest?" In the video, a young girl sits all alone on a food delivery electric bike,
11:4211 minutes, 42 secondsseemingly asleep. The Maidtoan delivery box in front of her silently indicates her father's occupation. To make a living, this father had no choice but to
11:5111 minutes, 51 secondsleave his child alone downstairs while he went upstairs to deliver food. This scene tore apart online public opinion.
11:5811 minutes, 58 secondsOn one side, there were sharp criticisms. What kind of life is this for a child? Irresponsible to both yourself and your child. I don't
12:0612 minutes, 6 secondssympathize with this. If conditions are poor, why have children? On the other side, there was a more complex and painful empathy. Does this child really
12:1412 minutes, 14 secondshave to be born? It's so pitiful. Is a child born just to suffer? In such circumstances, not having children can
have to be born? It's so pitiful. Is a child born just to suffer? In such circumstances, not having children canalso be a responsible choice. This is one of the reasons why many don't want to have children. Now, this is just the tip of the iceberg for the lives of the
12:2912 minutes, 29 secondslower class. Neither side of this debate is entirely wrong, but it itself forms the most effective discouragement from marriage. For young people still
12:3712 minutes, 37 secondshesitating on the threshold of marriage, these scenes provide another strong reason to back out. This individual level fear of marriage and children is
12:4512 minutes, 45 secondscoming together and rapidly reshaping the future of the entire nation. Cold statistics foretell an impeding inevitable population avalanche. The
12:5412 minutes, 54 secondsfirst to bear the brunt is a dramatic drop in the birth rates. In 2025, China's new birth population is expected
13:0013 minutesto be just 7.92 million compared to 17.5 million in 2017. This means that in just 8 years, the number of newborns has
13:0813 minutes, 8 secondsdecreased by more than half. As this generation grows up and the older generations gradually pass away, an unprecedented era of negative population
13:1613 minutes, 16 secondsgrowth will accelerate. It's projected that by 2043, China's annual death toll may reach 20 million, while the number of new births may not exceed 5 million.
13:2613 minutes, 26 secondsThis means in one year the net population decrease could reach an astonishing 15 million. Such a rapid population decline is unprecedented in history both in China and globally.
13:3713 minutes, 37 secondsFacing this impeding avalanche, the Chinese government has already felt the crisis and is taking various measures to encourage marriage and childirth. From
13:4513 minutes, 45 secondsthe central government to local authorities, a series of policies aimed at promoting long-term population balance have been rolled out. These
13:5313 minutes, 53 secondsinclude establishing fertility subsidies, increasing personal income tax deductions related to children, and providing higher public housing loan
14:0014 minutesamounts for families with multiple children. The government has even begun cracking down on exorbitant bride prices and extravagant wedding customs,
14:0814 minutes, 8 secondsattempting to ease a financial burden of marriage and clear obstacles. In a park, a community worker tried to awaken young people's sense of traditional social
14:1714 minutes, 17 secondsresponsibility. However, instead they were met with a soul stirring response from the younger generation.
14:2414 minutes, 24 secondsIf you don't get married, how will society function? Is that your business to worry about? How's it not my business? Can you even do anything about
14:3214 minutes, 32 secondsit? If I don't do it and he doesn't do it, when the avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent. So, when someone is short on the bride price, are you
14:4014 minutes, 40 secondsgoing to pay for it? I'm trying to call attention to the issue, not saying I'm going to pay. How could I pay that?
14:4714 minutes, 47 secondsThere are millions of people, so you won't pay. Then what are you even talking about? A netzen's comment struck a chord. The elderly man is not worried
14:5514 minutes, 55 secondsabout the avalanche. He's worried about his future pension. In the face of avalanche warning, young people responded with silence and turned away.
15:0415 minutes, 4 secondsFrom project's travels to roams the country in his van to Shaolin, the urban white collar who lives for her own pleasure. From the designated driver
